I am a motivated and dedicated sales professional, specializing in business-to-business sales and client/customer relationships/development. My working penchant is for Marketing and Brand Development, to which my geography lends itself gratuitously. I can say "I love my work," and mean it, and I am fortunate in that privilege.I've been married right at a decade to a beautiful/wonderful woman and have 2 children: a girl and a boy of 5 and 2 years old, respectively. I look forward to being an active Chamber member, and welcome anyone to contact me (jpennington@newsamerica.com) with any questions or need - frivolous conversations are welcome (and encouraged!) as well.

Anna Russell
The Buttered Biscuit, Owner
Hi! My name is Anna. I'm a Midwest girl who has adopted Arkansas as my home. A few things that make me most happy are being a wife, a mother, my faith, a good cup of coffee, and a hot breakfast.
I have a background in hospitality and entrepreneurism, and I am a stay-at-home mom to my precious baby daughter. My husband, Sam, has a great passion for business and had been with corporate America for the last several years. Today, he and I operate The Buttered Biscuit together and we would both agree that it is the best job either of us have ever had.
I’m a simple girl who loves an honest breakfast gathered with family and friends. And now, my family and I are happy to bring the Buttered Biscuit to our friends and neighbors.
Michael Finke
NWA Welcome Services, Chief Creator of Opportunities
Michael Finke Bio:
As a young boy, I had the opportunity growing up to understand small business, and what it took to be an entrepreneur. Passion; the will to swim against the current, and the freedom to succeed, are still paramount to the success of the entrepreneur.
My background involves 25 years of experience with marketing, sales, and operations. My passion has been to connect small businesses with newcomers/new homeowners to the area through a personal face-to-face referral from NWA Welcome Services. As the Chief Creator of Opportunities, I believe growing small businesses in our local communities for future generations to come; is a relationship worth investing in.
Small Business is the "Bedrock" of our economy today.

Terry Comer
Stone Mill Cafe, Owner
In 1996, Dan and Karen Dantzler began their journey to make the best breads and baked goods in Northwest Arkansas, focusing on natural ingredients and home-style care. Today, Stone Mill Bread stands as an iconic landmark where indeed, “great taste comes naturally”.
In 2015, with encouragement and support from the Dantzler family, Dan’s daughter Dana and husband Terry made the decision to extend the Stone Mill brand to Bentonville. “We want to continue the tradition of excellence, pride of ownership, and desire to delight customers that goes into every Stone Mill product.” In 2017, this dream became reality when the icon on Gregg Ave, Fayetteville enabled the launch of a new cafe on Walton Blvd, Bentonville!
